Existing users, 
Although OpenOffice.org offers a sort-of aqua (read: "glossy button") version, NeoOffice is lightyears ahead with Mac support, without sacrificing compatibility.
Version 3.0 from Neo is about 20 times faster at startup than the OOo version, and supports much more MacOS goodies. NeoOffice CARES about the Mac, and it shows. There's just no reason to get the OOo "Aqua" version, unless you miss your Windows PC or are a masochist...
Way to go NeoOffice! My only fear is that since OOo is trying to offer an Aqua version (no doubt inspired by Neo -- they wouldn't bother otherwise), that NeoOffice might go by the wayside. OOo, no offense, but leave Macifying to the pros! :-)))

Aqua Done Right - kcwookie
I disagree, it uses Leopards spell/grammar check and has better access to media. I think OO still has a way to go to catch up.Thursday, June 18 2009 @ 01:27 PM PDT
Aqua Done Right - adamsh
absolute nonsense. the two are almost identical, and neo office is definitely not "aqua done right". it looks like a PC program running on the mac. neo office might be a bit faster, but the only real "plus" it has is that it was around long before OOo had a mac port. nothing else.Reply to This
